Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you live anywhere outside of the US, the question is irrelevant, because everyone uses whatsapp etc.
Within the US, if you are over the age of 30, it probably doesn't matter.
if you are under the age of 30 AND in the US, I mean, if someone does judge you for it, you at least have a great way to filter shitty people out of your life lol.
I'm over 30 (in the US) and have an iPhone, but before I got my current job I was almost never reachable by phone, either out of service range or phone was dead, so I give out my google number so that messages and calls go to my email and get forwarded to my phone. So I make green bubbles from my iPhone.
When people see me pull out my phone for the first time they get SO MAD. "WHY ARE YOUR BUBBLES GREEN?! YOU HAVE AN iPHONE!!" I don't understand. I know I could reverse things so that my cell number forwards to my google number instead of the other way around, but it's just not something I've ever gotten around to. Why you so mad bruh?
I've heard a 38 year old American man on a podcast moan about his families bubbles when they use android.
*man-child
And developing countries are dominated by Chinese Android OEMs, with Samsung unable to beat them on the mid-range segment.
